Manor House Childcare
GoodBirth to 5Long established
A day nursery in Accrington for children from birth to 5, open 07:30 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in March 2022. Open since 2019, with 50 places.
What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in Lancashire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Lancashire from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
Significant improvements have been made for children since the last inspection.
The manager carefully checks staff's daily risk assessments and ensures that the setting is safe. The owners and manager are committed to improving the quality of care and education they provide. The manager observes staff working with children and provides feedback, coaching and support to help them improve their practice.
As a result, staff plan activities that support children to make good progress across the areas of learning. Staff recognise that some children have needed more support with their emotional well-being and social skills during the COVID-19
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- review and adapt ways in which information is shared with parents, including more detailed information regarding children's next stages of learning, to enable parents to continue their child's learning at home n enhance the curriculum to help children to consistently understand differences and similarities of people, families and communities different to their own.

What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
